Shuttle upgraded video card??

[racerjon777]

Well im upgrading my video card in my shuttle to something killer...but...i dont know much about vidcards especially not any for a shuttle. my question is this...what are some mid-to high range videocards that will work in a shuttle pc with 200 watt psu? i have an athlon xp 2200+ unlocked running at 200 x 11, 1 gig of crucial pc 2700 and a maxtor diamondmax 200gig ide hdd.

You should be able to run any high end agp card. From experience I know that it can run a 6800 with ease, and could probably take a 6800GT or X800XL. If you find that 200W is not enough there's also the option to replace the PSU with a 250 or even a 300W.

ok sweet, now how is heat issuses with this? from what i read, the shuttles agp slot doesnt provide adequate cooling holes, should i break out the drill and make some?

I have fully loaded (two hard drives, DVD-RW, AXP 2500+) SN45G with a 6800, and I've not had any problems with heat or power.
